What is Litmus?

Litmus is a comprehensive, AI-powered testing and evaluation platform designed to empower developers building and deploying LLM-powered applications. It provides the tools and insights needed to ensure the reliability, performance, and safety of generative AI solutions.

The Challenges of LLM Testing

Testing LLM-powered applications presents unique challenges compared to traditional software testing:

  • Non-deterministic Outputs: LLMs can produce varied outputs for identical inputs, making traditional testing methods unreliable.
  • Difficulty in Defining "Correctness": Evaluating LLM outputs often involves subjective judgments and nuanced assessments of quality, relevance, and context.
  • Potential for Biases, Hallucinations, and Safety Issues: LLMs can inherit biases from training data, generate factually incorrect information, or produce harmful content, requiring careful scrutiny and mitigation strategies.
